Azure AD Connect Guide
Experts, a lot of you might be aware that Dirsync is going to expire on April 13, 2017. It is
time for us to upgrade to Azure AD connect. I know, a lot of us are confused, on how to do it.
I am documenting steps you can use to perform Dirsync upgrade. There are two option:
Option 1: In-Place upgrade. Which 99% would be doing or if your object count is below
50000.
Option 2: Parallel deployment. This is required for large organizations or If your object count
is above 50000.
Note: If you are using SQL Express, then you won't asked to provide SQL details.
5) Enter the username and password, you noted in step 2 point 4 above. Click Next
6) Enter the Enterprise service account username and password. Click Next.
7) Once above steps are completed. You will be asked to click on Upgrade button. Click
Upgrade.
Note: You can also select "Start the synchronization process as soon as the
configuration completes".
Note: You don't need to remove Dirsync. Azure AD Connect, will do it for you.
Important Note: If you are using proxy, you must allow below URL's minimum. Else
upgrade would fail.
